They want to claim corporations have the same rights as people, well then that street should go both ways and they should face the same penalties as a person does if they break the law.
There is nothing to stop them from doing it again, if they determine the profit margin justifies the risk. This is the problem with letting them "buy" their way out of trouble with a fine because none of the officers of the company are at threat of any punishment for their actions. Meaning this just becomes a cost of doing business that can be weighed by risk vs reward.

Who do you blame. It is a company. They did not kill anyone. The law says if they do what they do, this is what the end result is. Banks launder money every day. They are a bank. Typically if there is a person behind it. That person gets in trouble. It happens everyday. Martha Stewert and so on....I am sure if there was a specific person at fault they are in trouble. Read more in to it..
Also, in a lot of other countries you can literally buy your freedom. Even if the law says you spend the rest of your life in jail. This is not what is happening here.
